He was a member of First Baptist Church of Mountain City and attended University Parkway Baptist Church in Johnson City.

Jake is survived by his son, Dayton James Cable; mother and step-father, Lynne and Kenneth Phillips; father, Kevin Cable; sister and brother-in-law, Elizabeth and Edward NeSmith; one niece, Hannah NeSmith; one nephew, Hunter NeSmith; grandparents, Dayton Ray and Janet Payne and Elizabeth “Betsy” and the late Wayne Cable; one uncle, Dayton Timothy Payne; one aunt, Janet Rhea Payne and her daughters, Katherine and Amelia and numerous great-aunts and uncles, and cousins.

Private family graveside service and interment was held on Sunday, May 27, 2012 with Pastor Kenneth Grindstaff officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Dayton James Cable Trust Fund, in care of Capital Bank, 503 North State of Franklin Road, Johnson City, TN. 37604
